This can be a lot of fun! Rope in family, friends, colleagues or peers to help you organise anything from a pub quiz, coffee morning, raffle right through to running a marathon! Whatever you decide to do, we’ll be on hand to help us you raise as much money as possible.

Corporate support

Your business can help us in several ways.

We have several long-standing relationships with charitable trusts and foundations, and we’re grateful for their continued support. The income we receive from them makes a huge difference to our work. If you’re a Trustee and you’d like to help Paces, please contact us for more information.
